You can modify one of the configuration files with the MAWS Lizard
Setup Software to produce exactly the configuration you want.
However, this requires a thorough understanding of the system. For
more information, refer to the MAWS Lizard Setup Software User's
Guide.
Uploading Configuration File
You need to upload the MAWS configuration file in two occasions:
- When you start using MAWS for the first time.
- When your system has been updated, for example, new sensors
have been added.
After a system update, the configuration file needs to be updated to
match the changes. Normally, you need to modify the configuration file
yourself with the MAWS Lizard Setup Software. After you have
finalized with MAWS Lizard, you have to open the MAWS Terminal
in order to be able to upload the configuration file as follows:
1. On the Tools menu, select Upload Configuration.
2. The Select the configuration file for upload window appears, see
Figure 88 on page 104. Select the appropriate configuration file
and click Open.
CAUTION
If you create a configuration of your own by modifying the ready-
made files, store the new file under a different name. This way, you
can go back to the original configuration in case the new one is not
working.
CAUTION
Also notice that the settings you define in the configuration file must
match the settings you make in the Preferences window and the
MAWS Stations Settings window.
CAUTION
When you upload a new configuration, the system erases all data log
files from MAWS. Make sure you download the files you want to save
before uploading the new configuration. For more information on
downloading data log files, see section Selecting Files for
Downloading on page 110.
